You'll probably want to upgrade your boot tensioners to Sti tensioners too as the standard tensioners are thinner and cant handle the added weight your new spolier will introcude. Had to do mine on my WRX to:

a. allow the boot catch to pop the lid open
b. prevent the lid slamming shut due to the weight of the spoiler (not clever when you have kids).

Got mine from Matty in the breakers section.

10 minute job to swap over using the following guide : http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?p=8209873
